rājan! tadanantaraṁ pratāpī mahābāhur bhīmasenaḥ manasaḥ prāṇānāṁ mohaṁ chittvā madrarājaśalyena saha yuddhaṁ cakāra ||

សញ្ជ័យបាននិយាយថា៖ ព្រះរាជា អើយ បន្ទាប់ពីនោះ ភីមសេនៈ អ្នកមានអំណាច និងដៃខ្លាំង—បានបោះបង់ភាពវង្វេងដែលកាន់កាប់ដង្ហើមជីវិត—បានចូលប្រយុទ្ធនឹងសាល្យៈ ព្រះមហាក្សត្រមទ្រ។ នៅពេលនោះ នកុល សហទេវ និងសាត្យគី មហារថី ក៏បានព័ទ្ធសាល្យៈ ហើយចាប់ផ្តើមបាញ់ព្រួញដូចភ្លៀងពីគ្រប់ទិស។

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores inner mastery in crisis: a warrior must dispel paralyzing delusion (moha) and act with resolute clarity in accordance with duty, even amid fear and exhaustion.
Bhima engages Shalya in direct combat, while Nakula, Sahadeva, and Satyaki coordinate tactically by encircling Shalya and attacking him from all sides with a concentrated shower of arrows.
